Last summer, the kids and I met my husband's cousin and her family for the first time (and we'd been married 11 years at that point!). It was amazing to see how quickly the kids bonded. We're planning on going back this summer!

We would be remiss to have a pageant competition and leave out those loveable, low-key pageant moms!
My challenge to you is to create something for a mom in honor of Mother's Day. It can be a layout, card, or altered art. It can be made for your mom, your mother-in-law, a grandmother, a friend or sibling that is a great mom, yourself... anyone that is a mother figure.
I used the May Sugar kit to create this for my mom (I just need to get a frame!) The pictures of her grandkids will go on the largest 9 circles. The three flowers at the bottom with the initials represent my sisters and I.

I was inspired by this!
Entries must be posted by midnight EST Sunday, May 13th. I hope you can play along with us this week!

I had been WAITING for this kit! These releases from Studio Calico and Crate Paper go so well together, I want to order another one! Be sure to mark your calendar for May 5th, when the new kits go on sale. :)
So many great boy colors were in this kit. I rarely use pink in my son's book, but I like the pop that it gives this page...

I used almost every patterned paper in this layout with a picture from my parents's wedding. I was inspired by this layout from Susan Weinroth and used 30 hearts to represent their 30 years of marriage.

I wanted to feature the fab patterns again on this double layout, but there are so many awesome embellishments, that I had to work them in, too.

Lastly, I made this mini gratitude journal for my goddaughter with a Jenni Bowlin circle album. It's adorable, just like her.

About Me

ScrappingMomOf3

Mechanicsville, Virginia, United States

I am Heather, a stay-at-home mom of 3 kids, ages 9 1/2, 7, and 3. I have been scrapbooking for about 9 years but I'm happy to say that my style has evolved quite a bit since the beginning. Most of my layouts are about the kids or our family, but I also treasure my scrapped recipes... it makes cooking WAY more fun!
